{2300+ RPM} Metroline ADL Enviro 400 Voith ft. Downshifts w/ Extremely High Revs & 65mph Maxouts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2024
- Now today being a 2nd-time appearance on my channel we have a Euro 5 Voith Enviro 400 with the newer E40D chassis! These are very notorious to be sluggish and gutless especially on hills. But today the bar has been raised! With some trickery, these forced downshifts allowed the gearbox to hold its gear up until between 2300 & 2400RPM, reluctant to gaining any more RPM, before upshifting into the next gear; at most, 2nd gear holding up until 28mph, and 3rd holding up until speeds of 43mph! Evidently "clear" of buses with normal kickdown fitted, the computerized gearboxes win when it comes to the revs here! Quite similar to the Abellio Smart Hybrid E400MMC I recorded months ago, the same trick was used, however I've noticed the Euro 6 MMCs do pick up RPM a lot quicker during the gear hold... but here at least we have time to really process how long it holds the gear for! And the time has finally come where we have a batch of post-2010 diesel double deckers from Metroline that can reach speeds higher than 39/43mph, here being 1 of just 14 E400s ordered with a Voith Gearbox! I have to say... as someone who loves the sound of the Euro 5 Cummins Engine, this sounded absolutely amazing in action... So yeah do prepare for MANY downshifts or "fake kickdowns" in all gears, some nice cooling fan moments and some nice hillclimbs! Big up the driver as well, you really did put on a show!
Enjoy the video!

Never seen a bus overtaking cars like this 😂
Damn this is wild. I’ve barely seen any videos of a Voith E400 from Metroline so this just shows that there are not enough drivers like this out there
Nothing but facts! 🤣🤣
Another one added to the playlist. By far the best voith Euro 5 E400 i’ve ever heard!
For sure bro!
Quality!
Really is! Thanks bro! 🫡
0:37 What was going on there 😅, someone was a little excited 😂. Ngl i was excited hearing these sluggish things actually coming out of there shell more when it was hitting those revs high.
We were just surprised by the fact it revved that high!
@Frozzles I have Stagecoach Enviro 400s that are euro 5 and they rev very high uphill sometimes its amazing
@@Frozzles Lol, its surprisingly shocking that a ADL Enviro400 Voith can rev so high with no problems but I did hear some Transmission clunking and grinding sounds too but oh well, this was the best video to be honest.
The manipulation here is amazing - especially coz of the reputation these have haha 😂
Exactly, we’ve set very high standards here!
Bloody hell, was not expecting that good of a run from one of those!
Very rare to see one acting like this ever, it’s almost like they’re destined not to!
I saw 2300rpm and I immediately clicked
🫡
You should try and find a genimi 2 B5LH because not much people record them thrashing
@@ehh100 I'm always on one lol
Best I've heard out of any Voith E40D 💨
You already know🤞🏾
I've always liked E40D Euro 5 Voith regardless, it sounds satisfying in general, but this is impressive, this shows you that euro 5 e40d engine difference to euro 4 e40d isnt acc that different, its the difference in tune of the axles that confuses your brain. Its just like euro 4 e20d and euro 5 e20d have a small difference in sound
Only difference in sound from the axles is the high pitch aint there on the E40Ds. And yeah it’s the same engine literally, very minor differences
now this is amazing
🤞🏾
Nice 🔥
Edit: I was driving on the route 96 literally a week ago n I was driving 19744. That bus really pulls in 3rd gear. I was going up the hill between Crayford and Bexleyheath and this bus was just holding in 3rd gear and the revs almost went to 3000rpm. It would have done that but I had to stop at a bus stop near the top of the hill. 19835 is pretty decent too. Had that on the 472 two days ago.
Thanks bro! Yeah I heard there’s a couple nice ones at PD. I’m not surprised these thing do hold their gear for so long up hills, otherwise they’d probably roll down 😂 but yeah that must’ve sounded nice 👌🏾
I think 19861 is also another good one from someone I know there!
@Frozzles The worst one I've driven so far is 19746 and 19799. They're so slow. 19799 pulls off ok until u get to 3rd gear. For some reason they limited the revs so much in 3rd gear so when u reach 20mph it takes so long to get to 30mph.
@@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333 Yeah this is one of the main downsides of them buses, they're already not the "fastest" so if you get a limp one or an
even slower one it's just long🤣
@@Frozzles Trust me bro I even had a passenger complaining that I'm driving too slow when it's not even my fault 😂🤦🏾♂️
never really been a fan of Voith E400s but i have to say this is very nice
You really can’t deny!
Love this channel
Thank you 🙏🏾
@@Frozzles you are welcome
I've never liked newer Voith gearboxes on newer buses but one VDL Pulsar with Arriva North East had been retrofitted with a gear selector meaning 1,2 and 3 could held and the driver managed to redline it all the way to 2500-2700rpm. It sounded so tortured.
Great video driver bit Nippy ripping the Engine pretty cool 😂😊
Yeah man, thanks a lot!
@@Frozzles no problem 👌🏾💯
Ex allocation of bus route 82
I mean, I'm lucky when it comes to Euro 5 E400s. Our YX63s here in Yarmouth are all topodyn'd so they go like stink!! This for sure isn't bad, best Voith setup on an E5 E400 by a mile!
Yeah ZF and TopoDyn always goes nicely! Honestly the setup is bog standard, It’s only because of the little tricks here and there that the driver was doing!
The voith’s been out atm, still prefer zf though by far!! Nice stretchy video by the way!
Wdym been out, but yeah with Normal performance and no trick, ZF would be a lot better, sound wise I do prefer these though! Thanks!
@@FrozzlesWhat I mean is that you’re uploading a whole load of Voith videos atm and it makes a difference!!
Seems like Stagecoach isn't alone with their voiths😂
😂😂
Confused me at first because it sounded like a Stagecoach E400 (probably because 98% of Stagecoach’s buses are voith) but it also sounds like a mix of a regular Enviro 400 (ZF maybe? Sounding like the facelift go ahead e400s). Also that sounds fire 🔥🔥🔥
It’s Voith 👍🏾
The e40ds at Kendal do this but then they are designed for massive hills. Good catch. Was this an RRSS rail replacement?
Yeah was rail rep
This is the Sullivan E44 of the Voith E40Ds. Its a shame they're mostly all so sluggish
With the right driver, For sure! Yeah they’ve got a really bad reputation 😬
Within the first 10 seconds with that first downshift, my haw dropped halfway down to the floor
AE10s in my county are fucking hopeless half the time and seeing the potential they could've had by seeing this video makes me more annoyed they couldn't have looked after them better
I always thought AE10s were decent, because they’re remapped but when you get any Voith E400 being tricked like this, you’ll clear anything 😁
@@Frozzles they used to be mate, when they were still mostly all at Cambridge but alot went into terrible derate including 19593 which was an infamous one
I love the sound of the engine and the diff it's just a shame they turned out like that
I appreciate these videos you do mate as I learn alot from them
I wonder if they have cruise control
Buses don’t have cruise control as far as I know 🤣
What route is this?
It’s not a route
@@Frozzles deadrun?
Yeah
@@Frozzles oh alright 🙌🏿
